The issue of the Warriors' early contract extension with Klay Thompson has been dragging on for nearly half a year and has not yet been resolved. Now that the clouds have cleared the day, the issue of Klay Thompson's contract extension has finally been resolved, and the future of the Warriors has been illuminated through the dark clouds, a contract about choice and value and choice.
Warriors management referred to the Celtics' contract extension of Holiday and offered Thompson a similar contract with a four-year contract term and a contract worth $135 million. This contract gives enough respect to Klay, regardless of age or competitive strength, Klay and Holiday are certain gaps, especially after a major injury, Klay still has a big gap between Klay and Holiday on the defensive end, so referring to this contract, the Warriors management is very sincere.
This four-year, $135 million contract is not only an affirmation of Klay Thompson's past, but also an expectation of his potential abilities in the future. Then this contract is a compromise for the team and the players, each step back and the sky, Klay Thompson is a player who has been cultivated through the draft, after all, the player and the team still have feelings. So, what should we think of this contract?
This season the Warriors are too difficult, the meritorious faction is getting old, the competitive state is gradually declining, although the successor team is growing fast, but there is still a lack of experience in the game, the Warriors encountered the era of youth and yellow at the beginning of this season, they were eliminated in the playoffs, and finally missed the playoffs this season.
Klay hasn't had an easy season either, and his regular season has been up and down this season. At the beginning of the regular season, he continued to be sluggish and couldn't find the form of the game, but gradually picked up in the middle of the season, and slowly adapted to the rhythm of the game, and at the end of the season, Clay was still trying to find the rhythm of the game, wanting to prove his ability. Clay shot 0 of 10 in the playoffs, which once put himself in the most embarrassing state of the team, but he still did not give up on himself.
Klay didn't respond much to the play-off performance, saying nothing more than a verdict. This offseason they went fishing and instead put themselves on the training ground, and he chose to break the doubts with real actions. This tenacity has not only won the support of Warriors fans, but also made the Warriors management see the value of Klay, after all, he is one of the tridents of the dynasty.
This contract extension is very difficult for both the Warriors and Klay, the team has to consider the team's salary space and operating space, Klay who has entered the end of his career wants a big contract pension, and the point of looking at the problem from different angles will be different. The two sides eventually found a suitable signing spot that will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the future of the Warriors. He will continue to work with Curry, Green and others to add more security to the Warriors' championship path.
